Introduction – Online Application Form for Death Certificate

A death certificate is an official proof of an individual’s passing away providing all the necessary details about the circumstances of death. It is a government issued officially accepted document. This law was passed in India way back. The law is still legitimate under the name of birth and death registration act. It has been made mandatory and is required for many processes.

The fees of registration:

The details regarding the fees of death certificate registration and retrieval are given as follows:

  1. In case the death certificate is issued in the stipulated time period which is 21 days, the process is absolutely free of cost.
  2. In case of late registrations, fine is collected. If the time is exceeded upto 10 days i.e. 21 to 30 days, a fine of Rs.25 is issued. This amount is collected by the medical officer of health department by the person who has applied for the certificate.
  3. In case the time of death has exceeded the time up to 30 days upto 1 year, the only way to receive a death certificate then is via the joint director of statistics. The certificate is issued after proper verification. An affidavit is to be submitted in the asked format. A fine of rs. 50 is also applied.
